Right now, I'm sitting poolside while Annika and Soren swim in the dark. The temperature outside is only 10 degrees, but they couldn't resist. We're at a hotel in Oakland, California, and we're still waiting on the R.V. to be finished getting repaired. We've been enjoying exploring San Francisco and the Bay area, but decided to take today easy and just hang out close to the hotel. Tomorrow we're considering doing SFMOMA ('museum of modern art' for those less-cultured), but not sure how much fun that will be for the kids. Anyway, travel plans are uncertain because we don't know when the R.V. will be done, but we do know that our plans to be in San Diego (at Sea World) for Soren's birthday are not going to happen. Here's some of my favourite pictures of the last week:
 |
| Sisters in a tide pool. |
 |
| Me and a sea turtle |
 |
| Last hour in Kauai...one last waterslide/swim. |
 |
| Aquarium of the Bay in San Francisco. |
 |
| Sea star (it's incorrect now to call it a starfish...did you know that?) |
 |
| San Francisco city street. |
 |
| Racing in Golden Gate Park (the first public playground in all the U.S.) |
 |
| Kai gets to the top! This is like 30 feet off the ground. |
 |
| Sawyer checking out the butterflies in the rainforest at the California Academy of Sciences. |
 |
| The ROCK. |
 |
| Soren, LOVING the boat cruise. |
 |
| Heading under the Golden Gate. |
 |
| A draw for the tourists... |
 |
| Soren...all tired out. |
love the pic of you guys at the aquarium, so pretty. Wish I could go sight seeing with you guys too. Sadie is grumpy, it's either the time change or the lack of play mates!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE all the pictures, except of course the one of Kai ready to jump from 30 feet up! (That set my 'grandma radar' off). lol I like the pic of you with that giant turtle, and I'm glad that it wasn't a giant bird. :):) Also really like the one of Annika and Sawyer in the tidal pool, sweet sisters. Too bad that Soren doesn't get to go to Sea World for his birthday, but at least he got to go to the San Francisco Aquarium.
